McCain calls on Obama to retract statement he made himself.

MCCAIN: In the most obscene chapter in recent American history is the conduct of the Kosovo conflict when the president of the United States refused to prepare for ground operations, refused to have air power used effectively because he wanted them flying — he had them flying at 15,000 feet where they killed innocent civilians because they were dropping bombs from such — in high altitude.

Different war, different situation, different context, but other than that it was spot on.

Whacky Mac's mischacterizations Obama's words are laughably transparent. Obama didn't say that was ALL the troops are doing, he just noted it. Like when Obama said he would go into Pakistan if needed, McBush says "He's threatening Pakistan!" No. He's giving qualifications. I know nuance is a skill for the intelligent, but Mac's fake lack of understanding makes appear even dumber.

p.s. What did Whacky Mac do when confronted about singing Bomb Iran? He said get a life. Game over. Obama wins.

Military personel should have the second-most realistic understanding of civilian casualties in modern warfare. There is no reason for them to find reference to it offensive.

****

Indignation over public acknowledgement of truth is presented in lieu of any logical argument for the benefit of people who wouldn't understand a logical argument presented on a plate. Let them go on with this nonsense so on election day we can have an accurate count of the nation's registered simpletons.

Why was McCain's granddaughter at this interview? She seemed afraid to talk to the press. Oh right.

Maverick.

Hannity is such a tool. I think grandpas forget to take his morning pills again, maybe his granddaughter sitting next to him can give it to him. By the way nice touch only giving interviews to FOX for the rest of the race McCain. LOSER

You know what's insulting to the men and women uniform, McCain's insesant claim that he has a high approval rating from the VA's when in fact he has a extremely low rating. He voted agianst Jim Webbs bill because of partisanship, not because he cared about the troops. What a complete hypocrite peice of shit. Have fun in the senate next year McCain.
